U.S. ally Republic of Korea (South Korea, aka RoK) has quarantined more than 16-hundred people, and now has shutdown more than 230 schools, all because 35 people are infected with Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). At least three have died.
Unconfirmed news reports say the first infected Korean had returned from operating a farm equipment company on the Middle East island of Bahrain. Most of the people now infected are healthcare workers who came into contact with the infected man.
So far there are no reports that can justify the lockdown of more than 16-hundred Koreans and 230 schools.
It should be noted that RoK has been in a declared state of Martial Law since 1972. Martial Law was declared by U.S. backed Park Chung-hee, who took power in a coup in 1961. He established the Martial Law Command to enforce it. The current president of RoK is Park Geun-hye, daughter of Park Chung-hee.
